SX2210T Touch Function Is Unresponsive Or Not Working

Description:

Touch features on the SX2210T monitor may not work due to following reasons:

The SX2210T Touchdriver* was not installed. Some users may mistake the Dell Touch Zone software to be the SX2210T touchdriver, which was pre-installed in to the PC when ordered.

A known conflict between the NextWindow touch application with the Dell Touch Zone software version (V1.2.1.8.A04) which disables the touch function in SX2210T.

The Touch feature is supported only by certain operating systems.

Note: When installing the TouchScreenTools found in the CD, 2 programs are installed, these are:

NextWindow Touch application

SX2210T Touchdriver (required to enable touch function on the SX2210T)

Note:Due to the age of this monitor Dell does not host drivers on the Dell Drivers page - drivers can only be accessed via the original CD and also these may not be compatible with OS's post-Windows 7

Make sure the USB cable is connected from the monitor to the computer.

Install the SX2210T TouchScreen Tools or TouchScreen Driver and Tools found in the CD which comes with the SX2210T monitor. Note that we are in the process to change the naming of TouchScreenTools to TouchScreen Driver and Tools.

Note: (Optional-Install the rest of the 2 drivers Touch Cam Software and Facial Recognition Software found in the CD if you have not done so.)

Note: Do not open the Touch Zone application during driver and software installation

For PC system with Dell Touch Zone installed, perform following steps to uninstall Next Window Touch application (following steps will not remove the SX2210T Touchdriver) which has a known to conflict with some revisions of the Dell Touch Zone application.

When 2 or more SX2210T monitors are connected to the same PC, the touch feature only works on the Primary SX2210T monitor. This is because the touch panel driver only recognize one touch panel at a time.
